AUKTION / DESTRUKTION!

On Friday, November 21 Frank and I are going to DJ at the KOLLAGE , Yorckstrasse 22 in Kreuzberg.

ACTUALLY it`s much better than that: for the 3rd time this year we are going to play records, auction them off or if nobody wants to bid on them destroy them right away.

We had a lot of fun the last times we did this. It is kind of liberating to break a record you really hate but also heartbreaking to see one go that might not have deserved it. Some people bid on the worst 80`s records while a lot of awful and some nice ones were destroyed.

So if you are in Berlin come on down to Kreuzberg to the KOLLAGE, a nice artist/student-type bar. Drinks are cheap and bids start at 10 cents. We play, sell or destroy some really horrible but also some really cool stuff.

About me:
My name is Andreas Michalke. I´m a cartoonist from Berlin, Germany and I like collecting records. Most of the records I find in thrift stores or at flea markets here in Berlin. I like a lot of music but I thought I`d focus on odd German records. Preferably with cartoon covers.
All my scans are high-resolution. If you double-click on them they will get much bigger.

1. I will not use material, that is already available in digital format elsewhere.

2.The artists I present are either anonymous or pseudonymous or dead or no longer active.

3. I feel that if nobody has cared to reissue a record in 50 years, it is fair to present it.

Note: Please don´t ask for re-ups. I don´t have time for that. What´s gone is gone.
